Saudi Arabia needs U.S help

Can you believe this. Just when you thought you heard everything. Another story comes along and makes me that much more dumbfounded.

This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has received an application to finance the export of approximately $480 million in U.S. equipment and services to a petrochemicals facility in Saudi Arabia.

Yes I know its an application. But dont you think they could buy what they needed from the U.S.A? Or am I missing somthing here. Please tell me im missing somthing.

It gets better.

Available information indicates the following: The high-density
polyethylene will be consumed in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle
East; the polypropylene will be consumed in Asia, Western Europe and
the Middle East; the polystyrene will be consumed in China, Africa,
Europe and the Middle East; and the hexene-1 will be consumed in Saudi
Arabia.

So basically, all this stuff is going everywhere BUT the US. Makes sense.........NOT.

Im sure the Saudis will get their money. They have been in bed with every US prez in recent history.
